GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR I hate photoshop.lol
You screwed up the second step. I'm not sure what version of photoshop you're running but when I go to edit canvas size there is an "anchor" option towards the bottom that shows where you are placing the new canvas relative to the current image. You want the current image to be anchored in the center, not to the left or right.

As far as it being tiny I am just pointing out that the area on the screen that is the boot image takes up maybe the center 1/5 of the screen. So it's not going to be very big. Think about how small the M logo is compared to the rest of the screen... that's about the size you are working with height wise. With the width you have the entire width of the screen.

When I did this the first time I had to go back and do it again to make the image appear larger when I boot up. I am just telling you to make the image as large (tall) as possible within the canvas size you are working with so you don't have to go back and do it again.

This might sound confusing but once you do it you'll understand what I mean.
